ABSTRACT

One disclosure of the present specification provides a user equipment (UE). The UE comprises: a transceiver for transmitting a signal and receiving a signal; and a processor for controlling the transceiver, wherein the processor: obtains network signal (NS) 52; determines an additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) configured on the basis of obtained NS 52; and determines a transmission power for a sidelink signal, on the basis of the determined A-MPR, the transceiver transmits, to another UE, the sidelink signal with the transmission power, the sidelink signal is transmitted within a band having a center frequency of 5885 MHz and a bandwidth of 40 MHz, and the A-MPR is configured on the basis of region 1, region 2, and region 3, and may be configured on the basis of QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, and 256 QAM modulation schemes.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present specification relates to mobile communications.

BACKGROUND

3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long-term evolution (LTE) is a technology for enabling high-speed packet communications. Many schemes have been proposed for the LTE objective including those that aim to reduce user and provider costs, improve service quality, and expand and improve coverage and system capacity. The 3GPP LTE requires reduced cost per bit, increased service availability, flexible use of a frequency band, a simple structure, an open interface, and adequate power consumption of a terminal as an upper-level requirement.

Work has started in international telecommunication union (ITU) and 3GPP to develop requirements and specifications for new radio (NR) systems. 3GPP has to identify and develop the technology components needed for successfully standardizing the new RAT timely satisfying both the urgent market needs, and the more long-term requirements set forth by the ITU radio communication sector (ITU-R) international mobile telecommunications (IMT)-2020 process. Further, the NR should be able to use any spectrum band ranging at least up to 100 GHz that may be made available for wireless communications even in a more distant future.

The NR targets a single technical framework addressing all usage scenarios, requirements and deployment scenarios including enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type-communications (mMTC), ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC), etc. The NR shall be inherently forward compatible.

The UE may determine the transmission power by applying the maximum output power requirements (or requirements) (maximum output power requirements). For example, the maximum output power requirement may be a Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) value and/or an Additional-MPR (A-MPR) value.

There is a problem in that there is no A-MPR for transmission of PSSCH and PSCCH between NR V2X UEs.

A-MPR for transmission of PSSCH and PSCCH between NR V2X terminals should be proposed.

SUMMARY

It enables efficient V2X communication by proposing A-MPR values between V2X terminals.

The present specification may have various effects.

For example, through the procedure disclosed in this specification, by applying A-MPR conforming to the FCC regulation conditions to the UE, the UE can perform V2X communication efficiently.

Effects that can be obtained through specific examples of the present specification are not limited to the effects listed above. For example, various technical effects that a person having ordinary skill in the related art can understand or derive from the present specification may exist. Accordingly, the specific effects of the present specification are not limited to those explicitly described herein, and may include various effects that can be understood or derived from the technical characteristics of the present specification.

Technical features that are separately described in one drawing in the present disclosure may be implemented separately or simultaneously.

Although not limited thereto, various descriptions, functions, procedures, suggestions, methods and/or operational flowcharts of the present disclosure disclosed herein can be applied to various fields requiring wireless communication and/or connection (e.g., 5G) between devices.

Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to drawings. The same reference numerals in the following drawings and/or descriptions may refer to the same and/or corresponding hardware blocks, software blocks, and/or functional blocks unless otherwise indicated.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a communication system to which implementations of the present disclosure is applied.

The 5G usage scenarios shown in FIG. 1 are only exemplary, and the technical features of the present disclosure can be applied to other 5G usage scenarios which are not shown in FIG. 1 .

Three main requirement categories for 5G include (1) a category of enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), (2) a category of massive machine type communication (mMTC), and (3) a category of ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC).

Partial use cases may require a plurality of categories for optimization and other use cases may focus only upon one key performance indicator (KPI). 5G supports such various use cases using a flexible and reliable method.

eMBB far surpasses basic mobile Internet access and covers abundant bidirectional work and media and entertainment applications in cloud and augmented reality. Data is one of 5G core motive forces and, in a 5G era, a dedicated voice service may not be provided for the first time. In 5G, it is expected that voice will be simply processed as an application program using data connection provided by a communication system. Main causes for increased traffic volume are due to an increase in the size of content and an increase in the number of applications requiring high data transmission rate. A streaming service (of audio and video), conversational video, and mobile Internet access will be more widely used as more devices are connected to the Internet. These many application programs require connectivity of an always turned-on state in order to push real-time information and alarm for users. Cloud storage and applications are rapidly increasing in a mobile communication platform and may be applied to both work and entertainment. The cloud storage is a special use case which accelerates growth of uplink data transmission rate. 5G is also used for remote work of cloud. When a tactile interface is used, 5G demands much lower end-to-end latency to maintain user good experience. Entertainment, for example, cloud gaming and video streaming, is another core element which increases demand for mobile broadband capability. Entertainment is essential for a smartphone and a tablet in any place including high mobility environments such as a train, a vehicle, and an airplane. Other use cases are augmented reality for entertainment and information search. In this case, the augmented reality requires very low latency and instantaneous data volume.

In addition, one of the most expected 5G use cases relates a function capable of smoothly connecting embedded sensors in all fields, i.e., mMTC. It is expected that the number of potential Internet-of-things (IoT) devices will reach 204 hundred million up to the year of 2020. An industrial IoT is one of categories of performing a main role enabling a smart city, asset tracking, smart utility, agriculture, and security infrastructure through 5G.

URLLC includes a new service that will change industry through remote control of main infrastructure and an ultra-reliable/available low-latency link such as a self-driving vehicle. A level of reliability and latency is essential to control a smart grid, automatize industry, achieve robotics, and control and adjust a drone.

5G is a means of providing streaming evaluated as a few hundred megabits per second to gigabits per second and may complement fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and cable-based broadband (or DOCSIS). Such fast speed is needed to deliver TV in resolution of 4K or more (6K, 8K, and more), as well as virtual reality and augmented reality. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications include almost immersive sports games. A specific application program may require a special network configuration. For example, for VR games, gaming companies need to incorporate a core server into an edge network server of a network operator in order to minimize latency.

Automotive is expected to be a new important motivated force in 5G together with many use cases for mobile communication for vehicles. For example, entertainment for passengers requires high simultaneous capacity and mobile broadband with high mobility. This is because future users continue to expect connection of high quality regardless of their locations and speeds. Another use case of an automotive field is an AR dashboard. The AR dashboard causes a driver to identify an object in the dark in addition to an object seen from a front window and displays a distance from the object and a movement of the object by overlapping information talking to the driver. In the future, a wireless module enables communication between vehicles, information exchange between a vehicle and supporting infrastructure, and information exchange between a vehicle and other connected devices (e.g., devices accompanied by a pedestrian). A safety system guides alternative courses of a behavior so that a driver may drive more safely drive, thereby lowering the danger of an accident. The next stage will be a remotely controlled or self-driven vehicle. This requires very high reliability and very fast communication between different self-driven vehicles and between a vehicle and infrastructure. In the future, a self-driven vehicle will perform all driving activities and a driver will focus only upon abnormal traffic that the vehicle cannot identify. Technical requirements of a self-driven vehicle demand ultra-low latency and ultra-high reliability so that traffic safety is increased to a level that cannot be achieved by human being.

A smart city and a smart home/building mentioned as a smart society will be embedded in a high-density wireless sensor network. A distributed network of an intelligent sensor will identify conditions for costs and energy-efficient maintenance of a city or a home. Similar configurations may be performed for respective households. All of temperature sensors, window and heating controllers, burglar alarms, and home appliances are wirelessly connected. Many of these sensors are typically low in data transmission rate, power, and cost. However, real-time HD video may be demanded by a specific type of device to perform monitoring.

Consumption and distribution of energy including heat or gas is distributed at a higher level so that automated control of the distribution sensor network is demanded. The smart grid collects information and connects the sensors to each other using digital information and communication technology so as to act according to the collected information. Since this information may include behaviors of a supply company and a consumer, the smart grid may improve distribution of fuels such as electricity by a method having efficiency, reliability, economic feasibility, production sustainability, and automation. The smart grid may also be regarded as another sensor network having low latency.

Mission critical application (e.g., e-health) is one of 5G use scenarios. A health part contains many application programs capable of enjoying benefit of mobile communication. A communication system may support remote treatment that provides clinical treatment in a faraway place. Remote treatment may aid in reducing a barrier against distance and improve access to medical services that cannot be continuously available in a faraway rural area. Remote treatment is also used to perform important treatment and save lives in an emergency situation. The wireless sensor network based on mobile communication may provide remote monitoring and sensors for parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure.

Wireless and mobile communication gradually becomes important in the field of an industrial application. Wiring is high in installation and maintenance cost. Therefore, a possibility of replacing a cable with reconstructible wireless links is an attractive opportunity in many industrial fields. However, in order to achieve this replacement, it is necessary for wireless connection to be established with latency, reliability, and capacity similar to those of the cable and management of wireless connection needs to be simplified. Low latency and a very low error probability are new requirements when connection to 5G is needed.

Logistics and freight tracking are important use cases for mobile communication that enables inventory and package tracking anywhere using a location-based information system. The use cases of logistics and freight typically demand low data rate but require location information with a wide range and reliability.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the communication system 1 includes wireless devices 100 a to 100 f, base stations (BSs) 200, and a network 300. Although FIG. 1 illustrates a 5G network as an example of the network of the communication system 1, the implementations of the present disclosure are not limited to the 5G system, and can be applied to the future communication system beyond the 5G system.

The BSs 200 and the network 300 may be implemented as wireless devices and a specific wireless device may operate as a BS/network node with respect to other wireless devices.

The home appliance may include a TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine. The IoT device may include a sensor and a smartmeter.

In the present disclosure, the wireless devices 100 a to 100 f may be called user equipments (UEs).

The wireless devices 100 a to 100 f may be connected to the network 300 via the BSs 200. An AI technology may be applied to the wireless devices 100 a to 100 f and the wireless devices 100 a to 100 f may be connected to the AI server 400 via the network 300. The network 300 may be configured using a 3G network, a 4G (e.g., LTE) network, a 5G (e.g., NR) network, and a beyond-5G network. Although the wireless devices 100 a to 100 f may communicate with each other through the BSs 200/network 300, the wireless devices 100 a to 100 f may perform direct communication (e.g., sidelink communication) with each other without passing through the BSs 200/network 300. For example, the vehicles 100 b-1 and 100 b-2 may perform direct communication (e.g., vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)/vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication). The IoT device (e.g., a sensor) may perform direct communication with other IoT devices (e.g., sensors) or other wireless devices 100 a to 100 f.

Wireless communication/connections 150 a, 150 b and 150 c may be established between the wireless devices 100 a to 100 f and/or between wireless device 100 a to 100 f and BS 200 and/or between BSs 200. Herein, the wireless communication/connections may be established through various RATs (e.g., 5G NR) such as uplink/downlink communication 150 a, sidelink communication (or device-to-device (D2D) communication) 150 b, inter-base station communication 150 c (e.g., relay, integrated access and backhaul (IAB)), etc. The wireless devices 100 a to 100 f and the BSs 200/the wireless devices 100 a to 100 f may transmit/receive radio signals to/from each other through the wireless communication/connections 150 a, 150 b and 150 c. For example, the wireless communication/connections 150 a, 150 b and 150 c may transmit/receive signals through various physical channels. To this end, at least a part of various configuration information configuring processes, various signal processing processes (e.g., channel encoding/decoding, modulation/demodulation, and resource mapping/de-mapping), and resource allocating processes, for transmitting/receiving radio signals, may be performed based on the various proposals of the present disclosure.

AI refers to the field of studying artificial intelligence or the methodology that can create it, and machine learning refers to the field of defining various problems addressed in the field of AI and the field of methodology to solve them. Machine learning is also defined as an algorithm that increases the performance of a task through steady experience on a task.

Robot means a machine that automatically processes or operates a given task by its own ability. In particular, robots with the ability to recognize the environment and make self-determination to perform actions can be called intelligent robots. Robots can be classified as industrial, medical, home, military, etc., depending on the purpose or area of use. The robot can perform a variety of physical operations, such as moving the robot joints with actuators or motors. The movable robot also includes wheels, brakes, propellers, etc., on the drive, allowing it to drive on the ground or fly in the air.

Autonomous driving means a technology that drives on its own, and autonomous vehicles mean vehicles that drive without user's control or with minimal user's control. For example, autonomous driving may include maintaining lanes in motion, automatically adjusting speed such as adaptive cruise control, automatic driving along a set route, and automatically setting a route when a destination is set. The vehicle covers vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines, hybrid vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines and electric motors, and electric vehicles equipped with electric motors, and may include trains, motorcycles, etc., as well as cars. Autonomous vehicles can be seen as robots with autonomous driving functions. Extended reality is collectively referred to as VR, AR, and MR. VR technology provides objects and backgrounds of real world only through computer graphic (CG) images. AR technology provides a virtual CG image on top of a real object image. MR technology is a CG technology that combines and combines virtual objects into the real world. MR technology is similar to AR technology in that they show real and virtual objects together. However, there is a difference in that in AR technology, virtual objects are used as complementary forms to real objects, while in MR technology, virtual objects and real objects are used as equal personalities.

NR supports multiples numerologies (and/or multiple subcarrier spacings (SCS)) to support various 5G services. For example, if SCS is 15 kHz, wide area can be supported in traditional cellular bands, and if SCS is 30 kHz/60 kHz, dense-urban, lower latency, and wider carrier bandwidth can be supported. If SCS is 60 kHz or higher, bandwidths greater than 24.25 GHz can be supported to overcome phase noise.

The NR frequency band may be defined as two types of frequency range, i.e., FR1 and FR2. The numerical value of the frequency range may be changed. For example, the frequency ranges of the two types (FR1 and FR2) may be as shown in Table 1 below. For ease of explanation, in the frequency ranges used in the NR system, FR1 may mean “sub 6 GHz range”, FR2 may mean “above 6 GHz range,” and may be referred to as millimeter wave (mmW).

TABLE 1 Frequency Range Corresponding designation frequency range Subcarrier Spacing FR1  450 MHz-6000 MHz 15, 30, 60 kHz FR2 24250 MHz-52600 MHz 60, 120, 240 kHz

As mentioned above, the numerical value of the frequency range of the NR system may be changed. For example, FR1 may include a frequency band of 410 MHz to 7125 MHz as shown in Table 2 below. That is, FR1 may include a frequency band of 6 GHz (or 5850, 5900, 5925 MHz, etc.) or more. For example, a frequency band of 6 GHz (or 5850, 5900, 5925 MHz, etc.) or more included in FR1 may include an unlicensed band. Unlicensed bands may be used for a variety of purposes, for example for communication for vehicles (e.g., autonomous driving).

TABLE 2 Frequency Range Corresponding designation frequency range Subcarrier Spacing FR1  410 MHz-7125 MHz 15, 30, 60 kHz FR2 24250 MHz-52600 MHz 60, 120, 240 kHz

For example, the software code 105 may implement instructions that, when executed by the processor 102, perform the descriptions, functions, procedures, suggestions, methods and/or operational flowcharts disclosed in the present disclosure. For example, the software code 105 may control the processor 102 to perform one or more protocols. For example, the software code 105 may control the processor 102 to perform one or more layers of the radio interface protocol.

Herein, the processor 102 and the memory 104 may be a part of a communication modem/circuit/chip designed to implement RAT (e.g., LTE or NR). The transceiver 106 may be connected to the processor 102 and transmit and/or receive radio signals through one or more antennas 108.

I. Techniques and Procedures Applicable to the Disclosure of this Specification

FIG. 5 is a wireless communication system.

As can be seen with reference to FIG. 5 , a wireless communication system includes at least one base station (BS). The BS is divided into a gNodeB (or gNB) 20 a and an eNodeB (or eNB) 20 b. The gNB 20 a supports 5G mobile communication. The eNB 20 b supports 4G mobile communication, that is, long term evolution (LTE).

Each base station 20 a and 20 b provides a communication service for a specific geographic area (commonly referred to as a cell) (20-1, 20-2, 20-3). A cell may in turn be divided into a plurality of regions (referred to as sectors).

A UE typically belongs to one cell, and the cell to which the UE belongs is called a serving cell. A base station providing a communication service to a serving cell is referred to as a serving base station (serving BS). Since the wireless communication system is a cellular system, other cells adjacent to the serving cell exist. The other cell adjacent to the serving cell is referred to as a neighbor cell. A base station that provides a communication service to a neighboring cell is referred to as a neighbor BS. The serving cell and the neighboring cell are relatively determined based on the UE.

Hereinafter, downlink means communication from the base station (20) to the UE (10), and uplink means communication from the UE (10) to the base station (20). In the downlink, the transmitter may be a part of the base station (20), and the receiver may be a part of the UE (10). In the uplink, the transmitter may be a part of the UE (10), and the receiver may be a part of the base station (20).

Meanwhile, a wireless communication system may be largely divided into a frequency division duplex (FDD) scheme and a time division duplex (TDD) scheme. According to the FDD scheme, uplink transmission and downlink transmission are performed while occupying different frequency bands. According to the TDD scheme, uplink transmission and downlink transmission are performed at different times while occupying the same frequency band. The channel response of the TDD scheme is substantially reciprocal. This means that the downlink channel response and the uplink channel response are almost the same in a given frequency domain. Accordingly, in the TDD-based wireless communication system, there is an advantage that the downlink channel response can be obtained from the uplink channel response. In the TDD scheme, since uplink transmission and downlink transmission are time-divided in the entire frequency band, downlink transmission by the base station and uplink transmission by the UE cannot be simultaneously performed. In a TDD system in which uplink transmission and downlink transmission are divided in subframe units, uplink transmission and downlink transmission are performed in different subframes.

<Operation Bands in NR>

The operating bands in NR are as follows.

The operating band of Table 3 below is an operating band converted from the operating band of LTE/LTE-A. This is called the FR1 band.

The table below shows the NR operating bands defined on the high frequency phase. This is called the FR2 band.

FIG. 6 a to 6 c are exemplary diagrams illustrating an exemplary architecture for a service of next-generation mobile communication.

Referring to FIG. 6 a , the UE is connected to the LTE/LTE-A-based cell and the NR-based cell in a DC (dual connectivity) manner.

The NR-based cell is connected to a core network for the existing 4G mobile communication, that is, the NR-based cell is connected an Evolved Packet Core (EPC).

Referring to FIG. 6 b , unlike FIG. 6 a , an LTE/LTE-A-based cell is connected to a core network for 5G mobile communication, that is, the LTE/LTE-A-based cell is connected to a Next Generation (NG) core network.

A service method based on the architecture shown in FIG. 6 a and FIG. 6 b is referred to as NSA (non-standalone).

Referring to FIG. 6 c , UE is connected only to an NR-based cell. A service method based on this architecture is called SA (standalone).

Meanwhile, in the NR, it may be considered that reception from a base station uses downlink subframe, and transmission to a base station uses uplink subframe. This method can be applied to paired and unpaired spectra. A pair of spectrum means that two carrier spectrums are included for downlink and uplink operation. For example, in a pair of spectrums, one carrier may include a downlink band and an uplink band that are paired with each other.

FIG. 7 illustrates structure of a radio frame used in NR.

In NR, uplink and downlink transmission consists of frames. A radio frame has a length of 10 ms and is defined as two 5 ms half-frames (Half-Frame, HF). A half-frame is defined as 5 1 ms subframes (Subframe, SF). A subframe is divided into one or more slots, and the number of slots in a subframe depends on SCS (Subcarrier Spacing). Each slot includes 12 or 14 OFDM(A) symbols according to CP (cyclic prefix). When CP is usually used, each slot includes 14 symbols. When the extended CP is used, each slot includes 12 symbols. Here, the symbol may include an OFDM symbol (or a CP-OFDM symbol) and an SC-FDMA symbol (or a DFT-s-OFDM symbol).

FIG. 8 shows an example of subframe types in NR.

The TTI (transmission time interval) shown in FIG. 8 may be referred to as a subframe or a slot for NR (or new RAT). The subframe (or slot) of FIG. 8 may be used in a TDD system of NR (or new RAT) to minimize data transmission delay. As shown in FIG. 8 , a subframe (or slot) includes 14 symbols, like the current subframe. The front symbol of the subframe (or slot) may be used for the DL control channel, and the rear symbol of the subframe (or slot) may be used for the UL control channel. The remaining symbols may be used for DL data transmission or UL data transmission. According to this subframe (or slot) structure, downlink transmission and uplink transmission may be sequentially performed in one subframe (or slot). Accordingly, downlink data may be received within a subframe (or slot), and uplink acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) may be transmitted within the subframe (or slot).

The structure of such a subframe (or slot) may be referred to as a self-contained subframe (or slot).

Specifically, the first N symbols in a slot may be used to transmit DL control channel (hereinafter, DL control region), and the last M symbols in a slot may be used to transmit UL control channel (hereinafter, UL control region). N and M are each an integer greater than or equal to 0. A resource region (hereinafter, referred to as a data region) between the DL control region and the UL control region may be used for DL data transmission or UL data transmission. For example, the PDCCH may be transmitted in the DL control region and the PDSCH may be transmitted in the DL data region. The PUCCH may be transmitted in the UL control region, and the PUSCH may be transmitted in the UL data region.

When the structure of such subframe (or slot) is used, the time it takes to retransmit data in which a reception error occurs is reduced, so that the final data transmission latency can be minimized. In such a self-contained subframe (or slot) structure, a time gap, from the transmission mode to the reception mode or from the reception mode to the transmission mode, may be required in a transition process. To this, some OFDM symbols when switching from DL to UL in the subframe structure may be set as a guard period (GP).

<Support of Various Numerologies>

The numerologies may be defined by a length of cycle prefix (CP) and a subcarrier spacing. One cell may provide a plurality of numerology to a UE. When an index of a numerology is represented by μ, a subcarrier spacing and a corresponding CP length may be expressed as shown in the following table.

TABLE 5 M Δf = 2μ · 15 [kHz] CP 0 15 Normal 1 30 Normal 2 60 Normal, Extended 3 120 Normal 4 240 Normal

In the case of a normal CP, when an index of a numerology is expressed by μ, the number of OLDM symbols per slot N_(symb) ^(slot), the number of slots per frame N_(slot) ^(frame,μ), and the number of slots per subframe N_(slot) ^(subframe,μ) are expressed as shown in the following table.

TABLE 6 μ N^(slot) _(symb) N^(frame, μ) _(slot) N^(subframe, μ) _(slot) 0 14 10 1 1 14 20 2 2 14 40 4 3 14 80 8 4 14 160 16 5 14 320 32

In the case of an extended CP, when an index of a numerology is represented byμ, the number of OLDM symbols per slot N_(symb) ^(slot) number of slots per frame N_(slot) ^(frame,μ), and the number of slots per subframe N_(slot) ^(subframe,μ) are expressed as shown in the following table.

TABLE 7 M N^(slot) _(symb) N^(frame, μ) _(slot) N^(subframe, μ) _(slot) 2 12 40 4

<Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) and Allowed Additional MPR (A-MPR)>

FIG. 9 a and 9 b show an example of a method of limiting the transmission power of the UE.

Referring to FIG. 9 a , the UE 100 may perform transmission with limited transmission power. For example, the UE 100 may perform uplink transmission to the base station through reduced transmission power.

When the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) value of the signal transmitted from the UE 100 increases, in order to limit the transmission power, the UE 100 applies a maximum output power reduction (MPR) value to the transmission power. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the linearity of the power amplifier PA inside the transceiver of the UE 100.

Referring to FIG. 9 b , a base station (BS) may request the UE 100 to apply A-MPR by transmitting a network signal (NS) to the UE 100. In order not to affect adjacent bands, etc., an operation related to A-MPR may be performed. Unlike the MPR described above, the operation related to the A-MPR is an operation in which the base station additionally performs power reduction by transmitting the NS to the UE 100 operating in a specific operating band. That is, when the UE to which MPR is applied receives the NS, the UE may additionally apply A-MPR to determine transmission power.

TABLE 10 V2X multi-carrier Band configuration V2X operating Band Interface V2X_47 47 PC5

FIG. 10 shows the UE performing V2X or sidelink communication according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The embodiment of FIG. 10 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 10 , the term UE in V2X or sidelink communication may mainly refer to a user's terminal. However, when network equipment such as a base station transmits and receives signals according to a communication method between UEs, the base station may also be regarded as a kind of terminal. For example, UE 1 may be the first apparatus 100, and UE 2 may be the second apparatus 200.

For example, UE 1 may select a resource unit corresponding to a specific resource from a resource pool indicating a set of a series of resources. And, UE 1 may transmit a sidelink signal using the resource unit. For example, UE 2, which is a receiving UE, may be configured with a resource pool through which UE 1 can transmit a signal, and may detect a signal of UE 1 in the resource pool.

Here, when the UE 1 is within the connection range of the base station, the base station may inform the UE 1 of the resource pool. On the other hand, when the UE 1 is outside the connection range of the base station, another UE informs the UE 1 of the resource pool, or the UE 1 may use a preset resource pool.

In general, the resource pool may be composed of a plurality of resource units, and each UE may select one or a plurality of resource units to use for its own sidelink signal transmission.

Hereinafter, resource allocation in the sidelink will be described.

FIG. 11 illustrates a procedure for an UE to perform V2X or sidelink communication according to a transmission mode, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The embodiment of FIG. 11 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the transmission mode may be referred to as a mode or a resource allocation mode. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a transmission mode in LTE may be referred to as an LTE transmission mode, and a transmission mode in NR may be referred to as an NR resource allocation mode.

For example, (a) of FIG. 11 shows an UE operation related to LTE transmission mode 1 or LTE transmission mode 3. Or, for example, (a) of FIG. 11 shows an UE operation related to NR resource allocation mode 1. For example, LTE transmission mode 1 may be applied to general sidelink communication, and LTE transmission mode 3 may be applied to V2X communication.

For example, (b) of FIG. 11 shows an UE operation related to LTE transmission mode 2 or LTE transmission mode 4. Or, for example, (b) of FIG. 11 shows an UE operation related to NR resource allocation mode 2.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 11 , in LTE transmission mode 1, LTE transmission mode 3, or NR resource allocation mode 1, the base station may schedule a resource to be used by the UE for sidelink transmission. For example, the base station may perform resource scheduling to UE 1 through PDCCH (more specifically, Downlink Control Information (DCI)), and UE 1 may perform V2X or sidelink communication with UE 2 according to the resource scheduling. For example, UE 1 transmits SCI (Sidelink Control Information) to UE 2 through a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH), and then transmits data based on the SCI to UE 2 through a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH).

Referring to (b) of FIG. 11 , in LTE transmission mode 2, LTE transmission mode 4 or NR resource allocation mode 2, the UE may determine a sidelink transmission resource within a sidelink resource set by a base station/network or a preset sidelink resource. For example, the configured sidelink resource or the preset sidelink resource may be a resource pool. For example, the UE may autonomously select or schedule a resource for sidelink transmission. For example, the terminal may perform sidelink communication by selecting a resource by itself within a set resource pool. For example, the terminal may select a resource by itself within the selection window by performing a sensing (sensing) and resource (re)selection procedure. For example, the sensing may be performed in units of subchannels. In addition, UE 1, which has selected a resource within the resource pool, transmits the SCI to UE 2 through the PSCCH, and may transmit data based on the SCI to UE 2 through the PSSCH.

II. Disclosure of the Present Specification

This specification proposes a new additional maximum output power reduction (A-MPR) applied to the NR V2X UE.

NR V2X supports subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz, 30 kHz, and 60 kHz, so each A-MPR performance analysis is required. Based on the measured results, we propose A-MPR performance requirements for NR V2X UE.

As defined in FCC regulation, A-SEM (additional spectrum emission mask) and A-MPR by NS_52 signal are applied. NS_52 may use the n47 band. And the n47 band has a frequency of 5855 MHz-5925 MHz. In addition, a channel bandwidth of 40 MHz may be used.

Conventionally, there was no proposal for A-MPR to be applied to PSSCH/PSCCH transmission by the NR V2X UE for NS_33 according to EU regulation. This specification proposes a new A-MPR applied to the NR V2X sidelink UE.

For reference, as an example of a wireless communication device capable of performing wireless communication hereinafter, terms such as “terminal” and “UE” may be used. For reference, the A-MPR value described in the disclosure of this specification may be an example of a maximum output power requirement. The same value as the A-MPR value described in the disclosure of this specification may also be used as the MPR value.

1. First Disclosure of the Present Specification

1-1. Assumptions for Measuring A-MPR

Hereinafter, assumptions for measuring A-MPR will be described. The assumptions described below were used to measure and determine the maximum output power requirement (e.g., A-MPR/MPR performance requirement) for UE operating in the n47 band of NR in the disclosure of this specification.

The basic A-MPR simulation assumptions are:

-   -   The center frequency was assumed to be 2.7 GHz/5.9 GHz.     -   Frequency band assumed 10/20/30/40 MHz.     -   The maximum transmit power is assumed to be 23 dBm.     -   Numerology, that is, subcarrier spacing type, assumed 15 kHz/30         kHz/60 kHz.

QPSK/16QAM/64QAM/256QAM with modulation orders of 4, 16, 64, and 256 were assumed.

-   -   Waveform assumed CP-OFDM.     -   Carrier leakage is assumed to be 25dBc.     -   IQ image assumed 25dBc.     -   CIM3 assumed 45/60dBc.     -   PA calibrated to provide −30dBc ACLR for fully allocated RB in         20 MHz QPSK DFT-S-OFDM waveform at 1 dB MPR. This is based on         the assumption that the PA is shared between LTE V2X and NR V2X         at 5.9 GHz in the worst case.

Additional A-MPR simulation assumptions are as follows.

-   -   The allowed sub-channel size assumes (10, 15, 20, 25, 50,         75, 100) PRBs.     -   Allowed L_(CRB) quota is 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70,         75, 80, 90, 100, 105, 110, 120, 130, 135, 140, 150, 160, 165,         170, 175, 180, 190, 195, 200, 210 were assumed.

The size of −PSCCH is assumed to be 10RB*3symbol. FIG. 12 shows.

-   -   The PSD offset of X dB between the PSCCH and the PSSCH was         assumed to be 0 dB.

FIG. 12 shows one of assumptions for measuring A-MPR.

FIG. 12 shows PSCCH/PSSCH multiplexing.

The horizontal axis represents the index of the symbol of the sidelink sequentially from the left as an index, and the vertical axis represents the number of RBs.

When 10RB*3symbols are allocated to the PSCCH, a portion may be allocated to the index 1-3 symbol position, and the PSSCH may be allocated to the remaining portion of the index 1-3 symbol for multiplexing.

Even if the total allocated RBs increases, the PSCCH may be allocated up to 10 RBs and the remaining portion may be allocated with the PSSCH to be multiplexed.

DMRS may use symbols of indexes 4 and 10. Transmission and reception can be switched using the 13th index symbol.

1-2. A-MPR based on A-SEM

The A-MPR condition may be derived with Additional SEM (A-SEM) to protect the adjacent The Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency range.

The 40 MHz FCC regulation conditions in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) spectrum are shown in Table 11.

Table 11 shows A-SEM conditions in a carrier frequency of 5885 MHz and a channel bandwidth of 40 MHz.

TABLE 11 Δf_(OOB) Emission Measurement (MHz) Limit (dBm) Bandwidth ±0-2 −32 100 kHz  ±2-10 −36 100 kHz ±10-20 −38 100 kHz ±20-40 −43 100 kHz  ±40-100 −50 100 kHz

To comply with FCC regulation conditions, RAN4 defines A-MPR according to NS_xx. NS_xx may be by a pre-configured radio parameter, or by a cell, or by an instruction performed by a higher layer to the NR V2X UE. Based on the simulation results, we propose an acceptable A-MPR for maximum output power due to higher-order modulation and transmission bandwidth configuration (resource blocks).

Table 12 shows A-MPR for NR V2X.

TABLE 12 Network Channel Resources Signalling NR bandwidth Blocks A-MPR value Requirements Band (MHz) (N_(RB)) (dB) NS_xx table 11 n47 40 table 14

Table 13 shows examples of N_(RB) according to bands and SCS.

TABLE 13 5 10 15 20 25 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 SCS MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz (kHz) NRB NRB NRB NRB NRB NRB NRB NRB NRB NRB NRB NRB NRB 15 25 52 79 106 133 160 216 270 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 30 11 24 38 51 65 78 106 133 162 189 217 245 273 60 N/A 11 18 24 31 38 51 65 79 93 107 121 135

For example, with a bandwidth of 40 MHz and an SCS of 15 kHz, the N_(RB) is 216.

QPSK is a modulation method with a modulation order of 4, 16QAM is a modulation method with a modulation order of 16, 64QAM is a modulation method with a modulation order of 64, and 256QAM refers to a modulation method with a modulation order of 256.

The UE may be allocated a 40 MHz channel bandwidth and use it for signal transmission. The channel band consists of two guard bands at the edges and as many RBs as the number of N_(RB) in the middle. That is, the N_(RB) refers to the number of RBs allocated for signal transmission. Therefore, N_(RB) is the maximum number of RBs considering the channel bandwidth and SCS. The signal may be transmitted using some RBs among the allocated N_(RB) RBs. The first RB among some RBs used is called startRB.

N_(RB) corresponds to an integer. Each of the plurality of allocated RBs may be numbered in the order of frequency, up to the N_(RB).

Table 14 shows A-MPR applicable to a channel bandwidth of 40 MHz and a carrier frequency (fc) of 5885 MHz.

TABLE 14 A-MPR(dB) Edge RB Outer RB Inner RB Modulation allocations allocations allocation QPSK ≤(9.5 + ≤8.0 ≤3.5 16QAM Δ(Note1)) ≤8.0 ≤3.5 64QAM ≤8.5 ≤4.5 256QAM ≤8.5 ≤6.0 (Note1): Δis 0, 3, and 5 when SCS is 60 kHz, 30 kHz, and 15 kHz, respectively.

The plurality of RBs may be divided into three zones, and the A-MPR value may be determined. N_(RB) RBs may be divided into 3 zones (Edge RB allocations, Outer RB allocations, Inner RB allocations). RB_(Start,Low) corresponds to max(1, floor(N_(RB)/k1)). Here, the max(x, y) function is a function that outputs the higher of x and y. Therefore, RB_(Start,Low) is the higher of 1 and floor(N_(RB)/k1). If N_(RB) is greater than 10 and k1 is 3.5, RB_(Start,Low) may be floor(N_(RB)/k1). Here, the floor(x) function is a function that outputs the largest integer among integers less than or equal to x. For example, if x is 2.4, floor(x) is 2, and if x is 3, floor(x) is 3.

RB_(Start,High) correspond to N_(RB)-RB_(Start,Low)−L_(CRB). Here, L_(CRB) must be less than or equal to ceil(N_(RB)/k1). Here, the ceil(x) function is a function that outputs the smallest integer among integers greater than or equal to x. For example, if x is 2.4, ceil(x) is 3, and if x is 3, ceil(x) is 3. k1 may be 3.5. However, other values of k1 are possible (e.g., 0.1, 0.2, . . . , 1, 1.1, . . . ).

Inner RB allocation refers to an RB whose RB number is greater than or equal to RB_(Start, Low) and less than or equal to RB_(Start, High). It may be called Region 3.

Edge RB allocation refers to RBs allocated to an interval as much as floor(N_(RB)*0.2) at both the beginning and the end. That is, RBs with an RB number equal to or less than floor(N_(RB)*0.2) and RBs with an RB number greater than or equal to N_(RB)-floor(N_(RB)*0.2) are referred to as edge RB allocation. It may be called Region 1.

Outer RB allocation refers to an RB that is neither inner RB allocation nor edge RB allocation among N_(RB) RBs. It can be called Region 2.

In the 40 MHz band and 15 kHz subcarrier spacing (SCS), the L_(CRB) may be 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 75, 80, 90, 100, 105, 110, 120, 130, 135. , 140, 150, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180, 190, 195, 200, 210.

In the 40 MHz band and the 30 kHz SCS, the L_(CRB) may be 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 75, 80, 90, 100, 105.

In the 40 MHz band and the SCS of 60 kHz, the L_(CRB) may be 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, or 50.

Inner RB allocation must be greater than or equal to RB_(Start,Low) and less than or equal to RB_(Start,High). Outer RB allocation refers to all RBs that are not inner RB allocation.

A-MPR shown in Table 14 may have an error of ±a. a is 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, . . . , may be 2.0.

The simulation results in the case of bandwidth of 40 MHz and SCS of 15 kHz are shown.

The horizontal axis indicates the start RB position, and the vertical axis indicates the L_(CRB). A value corresponding to each start RB position and L_(CRB) indicates an A-MPR value for the V2X UE. For example, in case of 15 kHz SCS in 40 MHz bandwidth, when QPSK or 16QAM modulation is used, when the start RB position is 100 and L_(CRB) is SORB allocated, the A-MPR for the V2X UE is a value between 0 and 2 is applied.
